The rapture (First Resurrection) first shows up in the New Testament in Luke 17:20-37, and from then onward it is presented constantly.

If you don’t want to be part of it, just continue as you are with this deception.

The rapture theory is not even 200 years old. You read your Bible your way and I’ll read my Bible my way.

I am not going to Hell because I do not believe in a man-made theory of end times. If I end up in Hell it will be because God has judged me as unworthy to spend eternity with Him.

And that is pretty much how everyone else who ends up there will get there.

I am talking about the Left Behind rapture thing that is out there right now. Not 2000 years of Biblical prophecy.

The rapture is real and covered by tons of prophecy.

What are you then arguing against? The “Left Behind” theme is based on the passage in Luke that I cited in my post.

I don't mind folks reading the Left Behind books. Hey, any literature people read is fine with me but I know people whose ONLY read Left Behind books for their literature. It's okay to eat carrots but I once knew a guy who ONLY ate carrots for the previous 3 years. Not healthy.

Yeah. The movie was dopey but the some of the scenes with Mimi Rogers were HOT. If only she just kept her mouth shut so we didn’t have to hear her idiocy. Well, the solution would be to watch the flick on the tube with the sound muted.

John 11:26 King James Version (KJV) 26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Rapture verses are all over the Word of God.
